Quiet Stars Powering Penn State | Penn State Nittany Lions Football News

Penn State’s roster is turning over like never before, with 60 new players and a fresh defensive line — but don’t overlook the unsung heroes who could be the real difference-makers. Defensive tackle Keanu Williams, a bruising 300-pound force from UCLA, is poised to anchor the front seven. QB Alex Manske, back from open-heart surgery and ready to step in if needed, brings stability behind center. LB Kooper Ebel, the silent play-caller with 77 tackles last year and the green dot this season, keeps the defense clicking. And running back Quinton Martin Jr., who flashed brilliance in the bowl game and now gets reps at RB and slot, is primed for a breakout role. These guys might not headline the hype, but they’re the ones keeping Penn State’s engine running. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
